Summary

Hypertrophic scars and keloids are physically and mentally disturbed, and in addition, can cause pain and itching. Various treatment is utilized to diminish or counteract scarring. The purpose of this study was conducted to compare the effect of Silicone gel, Contractubex gel and Corticosteroid Phonophoresis for Post-burn Hypertrophic Scars. Forty-five patients with hypertrophic scars after 2 to 4 months post thermal burn, their age groups ranged from 20-45 years. Patients were randomly assigned to three groups; Group A: 15 patients (8 males and 7 females) received phonophoresis with Silicone gel, Group B: 15 patients (8 males and 7 females) received phonophoresis with Contractubex gel and Group C: 15 patients (9 males and 6 females) received Corticosteroid phonophoresis. All treatment interventions were applied at a frequency of 3sessions /week for 24 weeks. Outcome measures were performed through modified Vancouver scar scale. The assessment was done pretreatment, after 12 weeks and after 24 weeks of the treatment.
